AI Development Initiative Launched in Ukraine

The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and NVIDIA have announced the commencement of a collaboration to establish a national infrastructure based on artificial intelligence technologies. This was revealed by the ministry's press service.
"Together with NVIDIA, a global leader in computing infrastructure for artificial intelligence, we are launching a joint initiative in this field. The primary goal is to create a sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure that meets the needs of the state and society," the statement said.
It is noted that the company's expertise will help implement innovative and secure services for the public and defense sectors.
The first joint project will be the development of Diia AI LLM — a sovereign language model tailored to Ukrainian legislation, public services, and citizen needs. All artificial intelligence services within the 'Diia' ecosystem will operate based on Diia AI LLM, including the already presented AI assistant, the future mobile app assistant, and internal governmental solutions.
As part of this project, Ukraine will gain access to NVIDIA's specialized software stack for AI product development — from infrastructure to software; technical expertise that will accelerate model training and reduce costs; and advisory support from the NVIDIA team, including expert participation in structured workshops and architecture reviews.
An AI Factory will be established in Ukraine — an infrastructure where key state AI services will operate, primarily the AI assistant in 'Diia'. In the future, this infrastructure will be used for an AI tutor in 'Mriya', and eventually, the project will extend to defense, science, and medicine.
